I have fat transfer to my cheek bones, jawline, upper & lower lipps last week May 13th. My face feel frozen, my lips hardened like gummy bears inside them. Some fat clumps on my cheeks area and jawlines. It feel tight when I sneeze, cough, smile, talk even brushing teeth. At times feeling numbness and tingling around the cheek bones area. My lips do not moved like they use too and no feeling when applying lipstick or liner. Can any professional advice available? Is this normal for fat transfer?

Fat transfer is permanent once the fat has established its own blood flow. It is possible to remove the fat to make you more symmetrical but it needs to be physically removed which is complicated by the fact that fat is in your pecs. This is not an easy problem to fix. Sorry! Visit with a board...
Fat injections, fat grafts, lipotransfer involve the movement of fat that is harvested from one area of the body to another. The harvest is from a donor area usually on the lower abdomen or thigh or buttock. The fat is processed and then reinjected in the recipient area. As it is...
The fat can "take" irregularly and lead to asymmetry or lumpiness. Infection is possible but rare. Bleeding with significant bruising occasionally. The graft might not take and make the benefits temporary.
